Features

Generally speaking, the higher your LDL cholesterol level and the more cardiac risk factors you have (cigarette smoking, high blood pressure, low HDL cholesterol, family history of early heart disease, and age) the greater your chances for developing heart disease or having a heart attack. The ATPIII guidelines recognize LDL cholesterol as the primary target of risk reduction; the main goal of cholesterol treatment is to lower the LDL level enough to reduce heart disease and heart attack risk.
